What were the various energy companies’ approaches to delivering CESP; The impact of CESP had on individual households, including the experience of accessing the scheme and what benefits were realised; How effectively the CESP scoring system incentivised particular measures and approaches, and the targeting of specified areas; What were the resourcing and costs issues in delivering the scheme; How Ofgem undertook their role as administrator and what were the programme administration challenges; The role of government in delivering the scheme; To what extent CESP achieved its objectives; and What key stakeholder learnings emerged from the delivery of CESP, which could help, inform the development of future policy.
CESP. Six suppliers were set an obligation under CERT: British Gas, EDF Energy, E.ON, npower, Scottish Power and Scottish and Southern Energy. Suppliers met their obligations by setting up schemes to promote and deliver energy efficiency measures to domestic customers, including loft and cavity wall insulation and high-efficiency lighting and appliances. Energy suppliers were encouraged to deliver their targets in the most cost effective way, in order to minimise the costs of the programme, which are passed on to consumers via their energy bills. Suppliers delivered their CERT insulation measures in a variety of ways, primarily by working with installers to offer them to consumers. Suppliers have also developed partnerships with, and promoted measures through Social Housing Providers (SHPs), Local Authorities, charities, retailers, manufacturers, newspapers and linked with other government programmes such as the Warm Front Scheme. Suppliers were not obliged to offer a specific level of subsidy or to report on this. However, many offers to the Priority Group and Super Priority group were offered for free. DECC published data on GB insulation levels is available here. The Community Energy Saving Programme (CESP) was aimed at helping households in areas of low income. CESP targeted households across Great Britain, in given geographical areas, to improve energy efficiency standards, and permanently reduce fuel bills. It was funded by a new obligation on energy suppliers and, for the first time, an obligation on electricity generators. See the archived CESP website for further information. The original CESP 2009 consultation document is available here. CESP promoted a “whole house” approach, and was designed to be delivered through the development of community-based partnerships between Local Authorities (LAs), community groups and energy companies, via a house-by-house, street-by-street approach. Partnership working allowed CESP to be implemented in a way that is best suited to individual areas and coordinated with existing initiatives. Around 100 schemes were originally expected, benefiting around 90,000 homes and delivering a saving of nearly 2.9m tonnes of CO2 emissions, with an estimated cost of £360 million. CESP was a much smaller scheme than CERT and was particularly designed as a pilot to trial new approaches to delivering energy efficiency measures to inform the development of future energy efficiency policy. Ofgem has certain statutory duties under the CER...
CESP. It is envisaged that the CESP element of the evaluation will particularly involve case studies of probably around 5 selected CESP schemes. This would involve a comprehensive assessment of how the schemes have delivered and what were the relevant success factors. Proposals of how this might be undertaken are invited.
